Dado Rails

Hi there,

Could someone tell me if it's safe to remove dado rails? Mr L is concerned the walls will fall down! Is he being dramatic?

Thanks

Mrs L

Dado Rails

If they've been on the wall for a number of years they may be nailed on to wooden pads in the brick joints, so you can remove them with a bolster chisel or small crowbar. There will probably be some plaster damage which should be easily patched up. If they are screwed on first try to remove the screws, but if they won't budge you'll need to use the chisel or crowbar method.

Thanks for your advice Gill, much appreciated. We'll have a go at that this weekend!
